Luke's birthday party is a lonely affair - there's just him, until his ex-girlfriend Tanya walks in. She only meant to drop off his gift, but soon they're involved in a strenuous argument over closure and who gets it.

It’s been years since Buttercup left the troupe to gain solo fame, but now he wants to get the old gang back together. He has to overcome a lot of reluctance, and some real anger before they agree, and then there's The Spectacle to deal with.

Hilarious full-length English farce in the best Whitehall tradition. Single country-house living room set.

Synopsis

Julia Benning is a pushy young businesswoman who is about to inherit her late uncle's company. However, first she needs to pass the scrutiny of her Aunt Celia. That includes assessing whether Julia's newly-acquired fiancé is going to be an asset - something he manifestly is not. Julia's solution is to borrow a substitute fiancé in the form of her friend Pippa's womanising brother. Throw in a lachrymose nurse, a jobbing solicitor and a couple who get the wrong address for their swingers' party, and Celia's house is set for a busy weekend.
